So I've been a bit lazy with photography lately as we've been anything but lazy with projects to beautify our property. Yesterday during one such project, we found this fairly decent sized spider. I believe it is a Parson Spider (Herpyllus ecclesiasticus) though my ID book says it is a small spider and doesn't get as large as the one we found...

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro, 1/250 sec at f/16. Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX in ETTL mode. ISO 100. RAW processing and cropped in Adobe Camera Raw.

Hopefully I can be a bit more regular in my posts in the future, but we'll see.
